The Virgin Islands
2011 Golden Grove Correctional Facility, St Croix USVI
June 9th, 2011, US DOJ files motion to take control of Virgin Islands correction facility. June 15th, 16th, 2011, Virgin Islands inmates are transferred off- island to Florida & Virginia facilities. No specifics have been offered to family members of inmates. The total number of prisoners transferred has not yet been confirmed but it is believed to be near 200. No reason for the transfer has been revealed. Taking into consideration the level of political & judicial unrest in our community we are left to consider two viable possibilities for the transfer of the inmates. Either space has been made for We the People, or room has been made for the corrupt "regime" we are living under. The latter of the two options seems to make more sense as We the People are merely exercising our right to free speech. Stayed tuned. I will report as the story develops so long as one of the vacant cells is not reserved for me.
Our community is on the verge of a financial & social meltdown.
The US Virgin Islands is not what you think it is. We are oppressed. We are Americans being suppressed in the same manner Egypt is.
